Utilitarianism

"Utilitarianism" by John Stuart Mill is a philosophical investigation into the principles of right and wrong, where Mill seeks to define the groundwork of morality through the lens of utilitarianism. Mill tackles the historic debate over morality's core, advocating for the idea that actions are moral if they generally create happiness and immoral if they don't. By pondering how happiness plays into moral decisions, Mill invites the reader to seek a clearer and more defensible standard of ethical conduct.
